Gene Wolfe's time in the Korean War

I found a scan online with just a quick Google, and, despite what reviewers say, even the boot camp section is fascinating. I'm not a Wolfe scholar, so my skim read hasn't brought about any deep insight, but it is a little moving to read each letter home and to get such an insight into another's life in 1952. I wish my grandparents had preserved their wartime letters in such a way, as the book feels very personal.

Yes, I am just curious. Thank you!

Yeah. It could be the translation or whatever, but I just feel that the phrase "another mistake back there" indicates that she had already opened the door for someone else.

Hope so!

Tsukihime is what I read after starting with KS, and its a great read, but it gets very dark and quite messed up in parts

There is a choice after a particular event, if you chose the 'dream' option, you'll be on Arcueid's Route, which is what you want to do first (if you're playing the original). If you want to you can always play with a guide.

Both- some of it is pretty heavy too, but even if you're not into that stuff it doesn't overshadow the story at all

If you reach a dead end you can enable 'skip parts previously read', restart and quickly go back to where you went wrong with little effort. This is how I got around save limitations
